Popular QR Code Types
Pick a landing page tuned to what you are making. Each includes the generator plus practical tips.
- Free WiFi QR Code GeneratorLet guests join your network by scanning instead of typing a password. This generates a static WiFi QR code, fully client-side.
- Free vCard QR Code GeneratorCreate a contact QR code (vCard) so people can add you in one scan. Great for business cards, event badges, and signage.
- Free Google Maps QR Code GeneratorCreate a QR code that opens a location in Google Maps. Great for wedding invites, events, and storefront signage.
- Free Static QR Code GeneratorGenerate a static QR code that does not depend on a redirect service. The payload is embedded directly into the QR image.
- Free QR Code Generator No ExpirationThis page focuses on the common pain point: QR codes that stop working. Static QR codes do not "expire" because there is no redirect subscription behind them.
- Free PDF QR Code GeneratorGenerate a QR code for a PDF without uploading it here. For privacy and simplicity, host your PDF (Drive/Dropbox/your site) and paste the link.

Static vs Dynamic QR Codes
A static QR code contains the final data (like a URL or WiFi credentials). A dynamic QR code usually points to a managed redirect, which can be edited later but can also stop working if the service changes pricing or disables the code.
Choose the QR payload before styling the image
Start with the action a scanner should take: open a durable URL, join WiFi, save a contact, draft an email or message, or display text. Short, final data produces a simpler code than placeholders, long tracking links, or content that will change after printing.
A static code cannot be edited remotely. When information changes frequently, encode a stable page you control and update that page. For WiFi, vCard, email, SMS, and plain-text payloads, generate a replacement code whenever the embedded details change.
Five checks before publishing a QR code
- Scan the exported file—not only the on-screen preview—with more than one phone.
- Open the destination while signed out and confirm that the intended audience has access.
- Preserve a clear quiet zone and strong dark-on-light contrast.
- Proof-print at the final size and test from the expected viewing distance.
- Include a short label or fallback URL so people know what scanning will do.
SVG or PNG?
Download SVG when a designer needs to resize the code for print without softening its square modules. Choose PNG for documents, websites, and tools that do not accept SVG, and generate it at the required pixel dimensions instead of enlarging a small file later. The SVG versus PNG guide and print-size guide cover the complete workflow.
